New things on the way...This has been a long time coming! I'm going to replace this blog with Drupal, my choice for web development. I say a long time coming because this blog, using Nanoblogger, is getting quite limiting and it makes things like spell checking really difficult for me (and we all know I have trouble spelling at times). So if you're still reading my feed hang in there, I will transition everything over when the site is complete. I'm hoping to have something together by 2009! Happy holidays...
Food reviews on the side...Users who are not logged into the site can now see the RSS feeds from Beyond Robson that I'm pulling into the site.
CSS UpdatedThe templates were easy to modify, same process as with any site. Using the Firefox Web Developer toolbar to see my changes and then following up with changes in the theme's code base.
Defining URLsReally enjoying the "content soup" analogy. Impressed with the built-in support of URL Aliasing but was having trouble figuring out to do with the raw "nodes" that each content piece generates. Then I learned how Drupal Pathauto takes care of the URL customization. Modules are as easy to install as themes, go figure. I used to have nightmares about this process with Plone and Xoops... I'm sure they are no harder to use but as a new user this was all too easy with Drupal.
